OPTICAL APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240345458 titled 'OPTICAL APPARATUS
The optical apparatus described in the patent application includes a lens barrel sandwiched and held by holding members with elastic members in between. The elastic members are positioned between the lens barrel and the holding members, which consist of a first holding member and a second holding member on opposite sides of the lens barrel in the optical axis direction.
- The holding members sandwich and hold the lens barrel with elastic members in between.
- The elastic members have spherical shapes and are accommodated in accommodation portions within the lens barrel and holding members.
- The first holding member and the second holding member each have accommodation portions for the first elastic members and second elastic members, respectively.
- The accommodation portions have recessed shapes capable of accommodating the elastic members effectively.
Potential Applications: - Camera lenses - Microscopes - Telescopes
Problems Solved: - Securely holding and positioning lens barrels - Ensuring proper alignment of optical components
Benefits: - Improved stability and precision in optical apparatus - Enhanced performance of optical devices
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Optical Mounting System for Precision Instruments This technology can be utilized in the manufacturing of high-end cameras, microscopes, and telescopes to enhance their performance and durability. The precision and stability provided by this optical mounting system can attract professionals and enthusiasts in various industries.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the elastic member contribute to the stability of the optical apparatus? The elastic members help absorb vibrations and shocks, ensuring the proper alignment and stability of the lens barrel within the holding members.
2. What are the advantages of having accommodation portions with recessed shapes? The recessed shapes in the accommodation portions provide a secure fit for the elastic members, preventing any movement or misalignment during use.
Original Abstract Submitted
an optical apparatus includes a lens barrel, holding members sandwiching and holding the lens barrel with elastic members therebetween, and the elastic members disposed between the lens barrel and the holding members. the holding members include a first holding member, and a second holding member which is disposed on a side opposite to the first holding member in an optical axis direction with the lens barrel sandwiched therebetween. the elastic members include first elastic members and second elastic members. a plurality of first accommodation portions accommodating the first elastic members are formed in one of the lens barrel and the first holding member. a plurality of second accommodation portions accommodating the second elastic members are formed in one of the lens barrel and the second holding member. the first elastic members and the second elastic members have spherical shapes. the first accommodation portions and the second accommodation portions have recessed shapes capable of accommodating the elastic members.
